Week 2 Monday Night Football Statistical Review: Buccaneers drop Texans, Chargers smother Raiders and Geno Smith

Baker Mayfield, Bucky Irving and Rachaad White sparked a late game-winning drive to lift the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Houston, sending TB to 2-0 and dropping the Texans to 0-2. Mayfield showed clutch poise while Irving and White fueled the offense in crunch time, hinting at a versatile backfield that'll be fantasy relevant in the weeks ahead.

In the other primetime-like matchup, the Chargers smothered Geno Smith in his home Raiders debut, snagging three interceptions and holding Las Vegas to nine points. The staunch defensive effort puts a spotlight on Chargers D/ST viability and raises questions about Seattle’s passing attack and Raiders’ week-to-week ceiling.

How should fantasy managers gauge Mayfield's late-game ceiling in the Buccaneers' upcoming schedule?Does Bucky Irving's presence split carries enough to hurt White's fantasy value?What does three picks for Geno Smith imply for Seahawks' passing game next week?Is the Chargers' defense a must-ride streamer in the coming weeks?

Fantasy football waiver wire: 4 D/STs to consider for Week 3 | SB Nation

Chet Gresham

SB Nation

Week 3 fantasy D/ST targets lean toward Green Bay, Seattle, New England, and Tampa Bay as the primary adds under 60% rostered. Green Bay’s Week 2 domination—four sacks and 14 points allowed—paired with a rest week sets up a favorable Cleveland test. Seattle’s game-defining plays—two Purdy picks and a blocked kick—give them upside vs NO, ARI, and TB. Patriots look to rebound at home vs PIT, CAR, and BUF. Tampa Bay’s pass rush remains a threat even if Tyrod Taylor starts, with NYJ, PHI, and SEA on the docket.

Which Week 3 D/ST waiver target offers the best overall upside given the matchups?Which Week 3 D/ST should managers prioritize on the waiver wire for a two-week window?How should Week 3 D/ST choices influence broader fantasy-roster strategy?Which specific factors should fantasy managers track to maximize Week 3 D/ST value?
